Kroupi, 19, has scored ten Premier League goals this season — the first teenager to reach double figures in over two decades — and netted in both league meetings with United, including the equaliser in a 4-4 draw at Old Trafford. Chelsea and Liverpool are also tracking the French forward, who only joined Bournemouth from Lorient in February 2025 and has been compared to Kylian Mbappe.
Senesi is the more immediately attainable target. The 28-year-old Argentine centre-back has started 31 Premier League games this season and is out of contract in June, with journalist Matteo Moretto reporting his agents are in close contact with United, Chelsea and Tottenham. Juventus and Atletico Madrid had also shown interest, but Senesi is understood to prioritise staying in England.
United see him as cover for the injury-prone Lisandro Martinez, who has started just nine league games this season. A left-footed ball-playing defender available for nothing represents exactly the kind of low-cost reinforcement the club are targeting, reports the Daily Mail.
The pair's availability is partly a consequence of Iraola's imminent departure, which has raised questions about whether Bournemouth can retain their most attractive assets. Kroupi in particular was drawn to the club by the prospect of working under the Basque coach.
Both players have a decision to make. For Senesi, Premier League clubs are in pole position. For Kroupi, the picture is less clear — though United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all watching closely.
